@jk_rowling Such an impoverished view of women that he is implying that husbands “becoming trans” is due to their wives appearance! But perhaps how a woman looks is the only way he judges them?
@duncanjourno@iocmedia Trans ideology would not have got to 1st base without the enthusiastic support of women. A few rich, powerful AGP men wrote transgender policy; women mainstreamed it. Most feminists refuse to acknowledge this obvious truth, for reasons I partially, but not entirely, understand
Trans identifying people can exist as much as they like. What they cannot do is force me to comply with their belief system.
I am an atheist. Christians, Jews, Hindus etc go on existing. They don’t demand I pray with them. I don’t desecrate their temples. We get along fine.
It is exactly the same with gender atheism. Obey the law and live as you wish. Try to force my compliance - we have issues.
@marksconway@joannaccherry I’m a unionist, but if I were to be persuaded that independence would be better, the current government would have to show some advantages?
Actually, Rory, we DID try to talk compromise 7/8 years ago.
Stonewall etc called us bigots and screamed #nodebate. They wanted everything: the most dangerous rapists in women's prison, men in women's sport, cross dressing volunteers "looking after" 11 year old girls on Guide trips. We went to law because it was all that was left. They overreached and the line, which was always biology, had to be reaffirmed.
Your "liberal" position is, in reality, still prioritising men. You could have listened back then too, but you and Campbell continue to speak over us and make assumptions. Would it be so difficult to invite a woman onto your podcast? Or are you scared you might have to learn something?
Oh, and yes, there are always more important things than women's rights. Or, at least, that is what feminists have been told for decades. We have to force the issue because, otherwise, we are at the back of the queue.
Just amazing that the conclusion Owen draws from this is "women shouldn't have their own spaces" rather than "men should do something about their own behaviour"
These are just a very small sample of the crimes reported to have been committed in mixed-sex changing facilities. There are no nationally collated statistics on crimes in leisure centres.
Our most recent report using Freedom of Information requests discovered 16 rapes, 80 sexual assaults, and 65 acts of voyeurism, reported to police from 256 leisure centres over a 12-month period. There are more than 860 leisure centres in the UK. 8/8

@glosswitch@EmmaBatemanGPW Most women have experienced male violence at some point in their lives. Perhaps the women Andy Burnham knows haven’t lived long enough yet.
As a man, a dad, and someone who actually gives a damn about protecting women and girls , I’m done watching politicians like @AndyBurnhamGM
play Russian roulette with female safety for the sake of self-ID ideology.
Andy: How many women and girls have to be assaulted, raped, flashed, filmed, or intimidated in toilets, changing rooms, prisons, sports, or refuges before you stop prioritising men in dresses over actual women?
Male pattern crime doesn’t disappear because a bloke says he’s a woman. Ministry of Justice stats prove it: 70% of trans women (biological males) in prison have sexual offence convictions that’s 20 times higher than female prisoners.
Yet you’ve backed self-ID, opposed the Supreme Court’s clear ruling on biological sex, and dismissed women’s safety concerns as “culture wars.”
This isn’t “inclusion.” It’s betrayal.
Women aren’t “bigots” for wanting single-sex spaces. They’re just trying to stay safe. And every time you let a male-bodied offender into female only areas, you’re telling half the population their safety is negotiable.
I stand with women. Real women. Biological women.
No more sacrificing girls’ safety for feelings.
Women and girls first. Always.
ITV is filming a drama about Queen Elizabeth I that will portray her as a trans-identifying man who hid his sex and became queen. She will be played by a trans-identifying man, of course.
I am so tired of this sh!t. Any historical woman who stepped outside of the narrow gender roles men tried to force upon her gets transed, and this particular idea is even more insulting to women than portraying Elizabeth as a woman who secretly identified as a man.
Almost as insulting is the stupidity level of the entire premise. Had Elizabeth been born male, she’d have been Henry VIII’s immediate successor, Anne Boleyn wouldn’t have lost her head, and Jane Seymour would never have wed Henry or produced Edward. We’d also have avoided Bloody Mary. There would have been absolutely no reason to hide a male child’s sex from a king who so desperately wanted a male heir that he broke from the Church in an effort to secure one.

@QcWynter@Gillian_Philip She went on to say “are they trying to force people to believe this” . Good question. How do you force a belief on a population?
@NickNickEdin@DalgetySusan@tlitb That’s what they can’t accept, that older women maybe don’t primarily care about how they look. And do they realize how they are clinging to sex stereotypes whilst pretending to be so progressive?
The promoters of “gender-affirming care” tried to quash scientific debate on its effects through name-calling and by designating as “settled science” the claim that it improves the mental health of dysphoric kids. It’s now clear why they feared open scientific inquiry.
It is the biggest medical scandal of our time. The sooner wider society realises the horrors we have been visiting on young people the sooner it will stop. Then there should be prosecutions.

Dr. Dionne Joseph on GB News, reacting to a massive Finnish register study that tracked gender-referred young people for over two decades. The study examined 𝟐,𝟎𝟖𝟑 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 under 23 matched against 𝟏𝟔,𝟔𝟒𝟑 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐬 between 1996 and 2019 (𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢, Ruuska et al.). The results are devastating.
Before referral, 𝟒𝟓.𝟕% of gender-referred youth had psychiatric morbidity. After gender-affirming interventions — the surgeries, the hormones, the puberty blockers — that number didn’t improve. It got 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞: 𝟔𝟏.𝟕% had psychiatric morbidity two or more years after referral, compared to 𝟏𝟒.𝟔% in the control group.
Dr. Joseph was unsparing: “𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥, 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦”.
She went further. The medical establishment “𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘣𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥”. She compared it to John Money’s infamous case with the Reimer twins, where the researcher “𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦’𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵” with his subjects rather than publish the catastrophic outcomes. “𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘰-𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦”.
On the suicide argument — the weapon used to bully parents into consent — she was definitive: “𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 101 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺.

She said therapists telling children they’ll k∗ll themselves without transition are “𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘭. 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Finland’s health authority has already changed course — breaking from WPATH to make 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 instead of hormones and surgery. The evidence forced their hand. Meanwhile, American hospitals are still performing these procedures on minors and calling it “compassionate care.”

This is a brilliant rap song entitled “Train Harder”, about this very thing.
